New Home Redos

First, thank each and every one of you for the sweet comments on my post yesterday. It meant so much to me.

Now -

Am going to try to feature a room each week that I have redone in my new home. I am so enjoying this house and am making it a home by putting my touches on it.

This is the original master bedroom when I bought the house. It was aqua (much more vivid than this photo) and the floor was aqua ceramic tile.

This opening goes into the dressing room and my bathroom. I immediately had the room carpeted. The rest of the house is all wood floors or tile.

This is one side of the bedroom. I hadn't gotten the mirror hung yet that is leaned up against the antique dresser. The loveseat I got from Craigs List for $75. The pictures over the loveseat are William Kimball four seasons - I love them. Got those in Neosha several years ago at their annual citywide garage sale. The old dresser was my folks'.

You probably remember the huge piece that I got when I first moved in the house. I have my TV in it. On the side wall is my wall full of mostly angels.

I made my bedspread and pillows several years ago. The headboard is an iron one. Bella really loves this bed as you can tell.

(Notice, I did get the mirror hung finally!)

Remember this gorgeous long wooden piece I found at an estate sale? It was the sideboard of an antique bed. Look where I put it.

I didn't really want curtains at this window. I don't know who ever thought to invent this size of window but they are so hard to work with. I am very satisfied with this look.

I made this arrangement to go over my jewelry cabinet.

So, here's one room down and a few more to go. I still have just little things to do in each room to finish up completely.

Thanks Susie. I fell in love with that wooded piece the minute I saw it. However, I patiently waited until the estate sale was l/2 price and then rushed back to get it. Thank goodness it was still there.

Love the creative way you used the carved wood piece over the window. I have that same style window in my bedroom as well. Am going to look for something like this to dress it up. Thanks for the inspiration! Your room looks beautiful!

What a nice sized bedroom you have! I don't blame you for having the room carpeted - that tile sure wasn't appealing! I really like how you hung that piece over the window. I know you said you didn't want curtains but I was thinking if you want to make that window look longer, you could always hang curtains up above the window going down to the floor. That look would give you length, at least. (Not saying it doesn't look good the way it is now!)

It's such a nice big room that you can really do a lot with. I have a window like that over my dresser. I couldn't figure out what to do and finally just put a regular length curtain over it and keep it closed. lol I sure don't need it with big windows on another wall. Enjoy the holiday weekend! Hugs!

Oh I like that red check love seat and especially that wonderful piece of wood over your window.I use to have some of those Warren Kimball pictures they are still charming I think.Cute picture of your dog all cozy on your bed, I miss my dog

I originally had two small club chairs to go in there but when I saw this loveseat on Craigslist, I decided it would be a whole lot better and I too, loved the checks. I've always loved Warren Kimball pieces.

I love those William Kimball four seasons prints. What a great find! You are doing so well with this house. I am happy to see that it is becoming "home" to you now. I believe this house was always meant to be yours <3

your house is coming along so nicely...and so pretty. I admire how hard you are working to make this pretty house your home...take your sweet time and don't overwork yourself...it will be great this winter to stay inside and do all the decorating you want.....xoxo

Thanks Su! Everything in this house was either aqua or pink. The den walls were painted pink. But, I really think that is one reason I got such a good deal on this home because a lot of people couldn't see past the pink and aqua.

I just love that dresser and mirror. I'm working on getting my home in order. It's a job and will continue for awhile, I'm sure. About to read what has been so upsetting to you. I'm sorry. I'm so behind, but I really do hope that you are finding peace in the midst of it all.
